Tuition and Financial Aid

The cost of the program for students, including tuition, living expenses, and health care, is the student’s responsibility. Each student who currently receives federal financial aid (loans, grants scholarships, or work-study) or would like to apply for such aid, is encouraged to see a counselor in the Office of Financial Aid.

The time-saving advantage of the AMDP program – completing a master’s degree in one additional year – may be lost if the student does not follow an efficient plan of study when they enter the program.

Grants and Awards

Transcultural Studies students who are registered as Rackham graduate students (typically in their fifth year) are eligible to apply for the grants offered by the Rackham Graduate School.

Rackham Conference Travel Grant: The Rackham Conference Travel Grant is intended to provide opportunities for Rackham graduate students to become familiar with, and participate in the life of, their academic professions. As part of its University-wide commitment to advancing international research and training, the International Institute provides funding for 30 awards to international destinations. The remainder of the funding comes from Rackham. You must submit your applications before the first day of the conference for travel through the end of the final term of registration. The conference may occur anytime up through your final semester of registration. Applications will not be considered for retroactive funding. Please see the Rackham website for details, eligibility, and application instructions.
